This helmet seems to be working fine. I was out on Norman ON THE ROADS this morning and I must say that the 411 engine really has grown on me over time !

Hi Dave, a fun video of the mod wars 😂. Always nice to hear you and Paul sharing banter. I think people who do all of these mods must have too much time on their hands !!! I barely get time to ride, let alone search, buy and fit mods. Probably worth doing though, if you can afford the time, and once you've decided that the bike's a keeper. Seems pointless to me, doing a ton of mods on a bike that you sell on in a year, but a lot of people seem to do it anyway 🤷‍♂ Have fun you two ! Thanks for the video. Garry & Ruby

@@MerciaMoto Hi Dave. Yes, if a bike is likely to be a keeper, you should spend some time and money making it just how you need it to be. In my case, I have two keepers but zero time to even think about modding them. Besides, both the Himalayan and the Meteor are close to perfect in standard trim. I can see me fitting a rortier silencer to Norman, just to get a bit more sound, but other than that, I think both bikes are spot on as they are. Looking forward to seeing what Paul does next !

@@Lanes-Explorer5733 one of my favourite places to visit Peter and pretty much on our doorstep. I plan to ride over and descend on the Western side, the road over there is narrow and pretty steep. I’ve ridden it before but not recorded it so might make an interesting video. 🤔👍🏻

Evening David, thanks for reminding me about bread pudding, haven’t had any for ages so I’ve tasked the missus with finding me some, if that fails we’ll have to make some! 😀 Pineapple creams, my mom would buy us them from Firkins on Bearwood Road, another favourite she would buy from there were tiny pork pies, just the right amount for a little lad at the time. I shall employ best endeavours to include bread pudding on a forthcoming picnic! 😀Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👍🏻😀

It's not the banjos you need to worry about, it the people calling the pigs that you really need to be afraid of.
